Yeah it's daft IMHO. Different economics apply to information in that it can be replicated for a tiny cost and thus it's economically viable it can be given away for free. Physical goods can't have that, so they can never be given away for free. It didn't work in communism, it just doesn't work.
communism never existed. its a big big failure of the mainstream to think that the east would have had something todo with communism. the usa is more communist than china and cuba might have some socialist attitude but after all it stays a dictatorship.
our economy today is capitalism more than any economy before. capitalism is not limited to the industrialization age. capitalism is the economy which works on base of private capital. capital can be anything with value which gains more value out of itself. another main quality of capitalism is the competition and this is also more stronger than ever today.
